Software Engineer, Privacy & Data Governance

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 02, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Security & Privacy team at Figure, focusing on the Privacy aspects for the robot as well as associated backend services. You will be instrumental in implementing privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and ensuring our products adhere to the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance. This role is centered on building privacy into the core architecture of our product, along with experience in AI and embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement new technical features that embed privacy controls and data minimization techniques into our product and tech stack (privacy-by-design)
• Develop and maintain core privacy engineering services, including systems for user control, anonymization/pseudonymization, and data retention/deletion
• Collaborate with AI, engineering, and security teams to define and enforce robust data governance and data protection practices
• Develop and deploy custom tooling (scripts, APIs, libraries) to standardize privacy enforcement across the technology stack and
